Leela Poem by Ashoka Harichandan

What is the use Kanha of your Martya Leela
If you separated from Radhe and the Gopis?
What is the meaning then of your Nitya Leela?
Where you exist with Radhe and the Gopis?

Why did you all have to separate while here?
Why the anguish of separation and the fear?
What did you come to teach with your own
When they lived their lives apart and forlorn?

The world now adores that leela as the best
Although the inmates of Gokula had no rest
They pined for you always and waited for you
Their lives were spent Kanh thinking about you!

Is separation the key to attain the ultimate joy?
But love has to be fostered and used as a ploy;
Prem Sadhan Prem Sadhya Guru came to teach
'I love thee because I love thee' he did preach!
